Guillaume Gillain (g) ; Joachim Caffonnette (p) ; Victor Foulon (b) ; Lucas Vanderputten (dr)
For this new edition of Nostalgia in Grand Place, Toots pays tribute to one of the great masters of jazz guitar: Kenny Burrell.
A central figure in American jazz, Burrell left a lasting mark on the history of the instrument with his elegant, deeply blues-infused playing and remarkable sense of subtlety. His warm tone and impeccable groove gave rise to a series of now legendary recordings — among them the iconic Midnight Blue — where blues, swing and hard bop come together with unmatched simplicity and class.
Through this program, the musicians of this quartet revisit this timeless repertoire, bringing these refined and soulful themes back to life. In the intimate atmosphere of the club, they explore the full richness of this music, moving effortlessly between laid-back swing, deep blues and nocturnal lyricism.
An invitation to rediscover the world of Kenny Burrell, one of the most elegant and influential guitarists in jazz history, for an afternoon devoted to groove and tradition — right here, just steps away from the Grand Place.
